What it looks like for YOU when you attend the studio or a class (Protocol for Dancers):

​

• All dancers will be verbally screened by DCDC staff members for symptoms prior to entering the premises. Temperatures will be taken.

• We also request members limit the amount of personal items brought into the dance studio and store all jackets/layers prior to starting class. This is to avoid bringing further outside contaminants into the facility. You are allowed a small dance bag with a change of clothes and dance shoes.

• Use of water filling station will be prohibited. Dancers are allowed to bring multiple water bottles, but will not be allowed to fill them from water sources within the facility.

• We will not have our normal snack station open to purchase snacks or water bottles.

• Dancers will not share equipment during classes.

• Dancers do not need to wear masks while in class since they are participating in a recreational activity, but we do welcome your dancers to do what is comfortable for them and your family.

• Dancers are expected to adhere to instructions provided with respect to social distancing.

• We are currently welcoming our Twinkle Baby & Twinkle Star parents in our lobby to ease back-to-dance anxieties. These parents who choose to stay in the lobby must wear a mask in accordance with the city mask mandate. Thank you for helping us follow this Shawnee ordinance.  

  • We love and miss you Mini ShowStars and Junior ShowStar parents!! We hope to get you back in the lobby soon!​

  • We will be posting extra videos to our social media sites so you can still see what your dancer has been up to in class!

• IMPORTANT FOR YOU: Dancers will enter through the East door and exit through West main door. Mrs. Teri and teachers will assist in the pick up of dancers. Please have a sign with your dancer’s name in the window upon pick up.
